I'm in the market for a new GPU and CPU to upgrade my system. I'm considering getting a Radeon 6700 XT 16GB to pair with a Ryzen 5 9600x, but I'm open to suggestions! My budget for the GPU is $425 and for the CPU, it's $200. I'm also planning to get an ASUS TUF B650-E PLUS Wi-Fi motherboard, so I need that to fit within my $200 budget as well. Currently, I'm using an RX 6600 8GB with a Ryzen 7 5800X on an ASROCK B550 Pro4 motherboard. Any recommendations on the GPU or a better AM5 CPU/GPU combination?

It really depends on your monitor's resolution! Are you running a high refresh rate or just standard 1080p? If you're at 1080p and aiming for high settings, the Radeon 6700 XT should do great!
You might want to consider going for a Ryzen 5 7500F instead of the 9600x. It’s got comparable performance and could save you around $100 to put towards your GPU! If you do this, you can allocate more budget for a better graphics card. Just a thought!
Thanks for the tip! What graphics card would you recommend to pair with the 7500F?
I'm running at 1080p 240Hz.
